Happy Birthday, Mom!

It’s that time of the year again. Happy Birthday, Mom! I wish all the best (you probably know that), I love you (you probably know that too), and I miss you (you probably suspect that anyway). Have a good celebration and lots of fun at your party. I wish I could be there with you today, but I can’t. But I’ll make it up to you. ;)

Do not fight the nature. You will lose.

My father-in-law has five daughters. No kidding. And all he ever wanted was one son. He tried the first time – no luck. A daughter. He considered giving up, but his wife convinced him to try again. And so he did. Nope. Daughter again. He thought about quiting, but his wife convinced him to try one more time. Who knows? He tried. Daughter. Again.

He took a break for a few years to think things over. And he thought hard. As a result, he divorced his wife. And married another woman. Who already had a son from previous marriage.

Tricking the nature he tried again. And he got it back hard. His wife gave birth to twins. Two girls that is.

Five daughters later, I don’t think he will try again.

Olga and I went to the beach together today. Usually we are taking turns – either she goes or I. Today was my turn, but Olga decided to join us so that she could have a swim or two. The thing is, Maxim is changing his sleeping habbits once again and he is not sleeping while at the beach anymore. Before he did and we could enjoy the sea while he was doing so. Not anymore. I don’t mind much, but Olga – she does. She misses the water.

Anyway, since we were all together, I used the opportunity to make a bunch of pictures. Who knows when we will be swimming together next time. The summer slowly comes to an end.

Johnson Family Vacation

Johnson Family Vacation (2004)The problem with me is that I don’t finish things that I really should to. And on the opposite – I go all the way with stuff that I shouldn’t even be doing. That is probably why I picked up not one but two movies randomly today. And both from the bad movie lot. “Johnson Family Vacation” was the second.
